I agree. If it were not for this stupid selfish act we might win this game. In the immediate future does it matter? No, we are still 2-7. But these are the mistakes that cost games and we didn't commit one mistake, we committed several and that is inexcusable. In order to be a winner you have to act like a winner and we act like losers. If this was a Belichick team would this happen? No, and if it did they would be stapled to the bench that's what. On this team it's accepted and there are no consequences. That's why we are losers.

DJ still plays well. The way he hits the gaps and makes the tackle for a 1 yd loss, he does it every game. He's great at it. I don't know how you can't see that if you watch the game. One bright spot on this shit team.

RE the celebration penalty (which was still a valid penalty IMO) if they do not celebrate it is 4th down, we get the ball back around midfield probably. Maybe we score a TD a few plays later and the game does not go to OT.

The problem I had with it is if the refs would have originally called it a incomplete pass we would have never had that penalty. I think after they called it incomplete everything after that should be voided, but no they had to call it a fumble in which dancing penalty occurred and gave steelers first down.

Our defense matches up pretty well with Pitt. We played them very tough last year with Tyler ****ing Palko. They have a wounded O-line, their 2X SB winning QB got KO'd, and they were operating with a 3rd string RB from GT (who I love, but is not above average by any stretch of the imagination). Additionally, they were missing their other top 30 WR and were able to beat the Chiefs with a QB who has throwing mechanics that makes Tebow say "Hot damn, is that what I look like? Jesus".

IF you think that our DL is elite or even above average, you're mistaken. While this D can play well at times, this was a D taking advantage of a unique situation and was able to play to it's strengths due to to poor playcalling and a sad misuse of exploitable matchups.
